orientation: the travel map, unexplored ways, the nearest exit
Prompted by "do sighted players have a minimap we don't have access to?"
No widget, but two map surfaces were only half exposed: the world map
screen, and the level view itself, which IS the explored-floor map --
rememberedFoV keeps everything ever seen drawn, and a sighted player pans
over it and reads the fog edge at a glance.
The world map dropped the three things the picture carries: what kind of
place each area is (the icon shape), which way it lies, and how long
travelling there takes. The last is the number the decision turns on and
was only ever in the side panel. states/worldmap.lua is now a read() plus
details() rather than probe/render -- necessarily, because render() gets
no state table and the travel time needs the screen's currentAreaId, an
upvalue like options and selectedOption. Travel time is the game's own
getDistanceMessage, the same call the screen makes. The blurb runs to
several sentences, so it goes on = and the settle timer instead of the
focus line.
Two gotchas: options[i].icon is already an image object, so the icon id
string has to come off the model area; and describe.direction only tests
the sign of each delta, which on the map's floating-point coordinates
called almost everything diagonal, hence a 25% deadzone carrying the same
4/3 x-correction the game's own distance maths uses.
New frontier.lua answers "where haven't I been", which nothing did:
surroundings is local, examine is one tile, and the tracker only finds
things it already knows about. A frontier tile is seen, not blocking
movement, with an in-bounds unseen CARDINAL neighbour -- cardinal because
the diagonal test fires on the unseen tile behind every wall corner, so a
lit corridor would report an unexplored way per corner. Clustered
8-connected and reduced to each cluster's nearest member, so a wide
doorway is one way but two openings that both lie north stay two. Reads
only FoV/rememberedFoV and reports only THAT an opening exists, never
what is beyond it -- exactly what the fog edge shows.
Shift+End names the nearest exit without disturbing the tracker
selection. Note for later: level.exits does not exist at runtime, it is
packed as nil and never assigned. The primitive is the game's own
getListByTag("exit"), which already gates on FoV or rememberedFoV, skips
hidden tiles and sorts by distance. Exits were already a tracker
category, so this is a shortcut rather than a new capability.
"remembered" moves from verbose to normal verbosity. tileFacts reads
actors only when a tile is currently VISIBLE, so a remembered tile is
silent about whatever may be standing on it now, and at normal verbosity
that silence was indistinguishable from "nothing there". A safety flag,
not a nicety.
Also adds descriptor.probeNames: a read() descriptor has no probe table,
so menus.selfTest could only report "custom read()" and the version-bump
canary was lost on exactly the screens reaching for the most upvalues.
worldmap and research now declare their game locals and get the same
PROBE BROKEN check.
120 testbed checks, 0 failures. It caught two things review had not. The
world map said "You are currently here." twice, because
getDistanceMessage and getLastVisitedMessage return the same sentence for
the area you are standing in -- fine as two panels on screen, a stutter
in one utterance. And the first frontier check walked a step east and
demanded the numbers change; it failed on a run where nothing was wrong,
the step landing but both openings keeping the same Chebyshev distance.
Replaced with the deterministic property: every reported distance must
equal Chebyshev from the player's current position, nearest first.

research: read what a node costs, unlocks and does
The research tree spoke only the node's name and whether you could afford
it. Everything that tells you whether it is worth affording -- the
knowledge cost, the recipes it unlocks, the description -- is drawn in
the hint windows beside the tree and was never spoken, so "cannot afford"
gave no way to find out what was missing or by how much.
states/research.lua now implements details(), the same = / Shift+= hook
the item grids use: cost with the shortfall spelled out, what it unlocks,
then the description, one block each so [ and ] walk them back. Shift+=
adds the name line and the whole knowledge purse across all four types.
The focus line also takes its name from the node's title instead of
humanising the id, so it is "Sewing techniques", not "sewing techniques".
Everything is read from the state's currentNode upvalue -- the display
table updateCurrentNode() assembles for the hint window -- rather than
models/research.lua, whose nodes table is file-local and whose unlocks
are recipe ids, which would have named the recipe instead of the item it
produces. The shortfall is computed against journalModel.knowledge,
required lazily because models.journal drags in much of the game.
The tree has no hotkey and the prologue may hold no writing desk, so the
testbed enters it the way the desk does: ingame.interface("research"),
the exact call in the desk's tryInteractFunction. Require it as
"states/ingame" and not "states.ingame" -- states.lua uses the slash
form, and the dot form loads a second copy of the module whose
levelWindow is nil, which research.draw indexes on its first frame.
98 testbed checks, 0 failures.

Phase 4 complete + Phase 5: status, popups, damage alerts
Game-file footprint unchanged: still one line in main.lua. All 23 states now have descriptors; 5 patches applied. Final two descriptors: - keybindings_menu has two panels (commands and keys) with independent selection, so it reads currentlyActiveWindow to decide which one has focus. Announcing the wrong panel's row would be actively misleading, since the two lists are unrelated. - research is a 2D node graph rather than a list, and its nodes are drawn as icons with no text label, so the id is the only identifier available. What actually matters is researched / locked / cannot afford / available: without the affordability part the screen is unusable by ear, because pressing enter on an unaffordable node silently does nothing. status.lua adds two pull keys -- ' for health and active effects, , for the current action -- plus unprompted damage alerts. Damage is polled from actor.hp rather than hooked. ingame.checkInterruptions exists but only fires for interruptions during queued movement, so damage taken on your own turn never reaches it. Polling catches every source (combat, poison, fire, falling) with no game edit. Damage speaks immediately and interrupts; healing queues, since it is worth knowing but never urgent. patches/popupstack.lua wraps popupStack.add, the single entry point for loot, recipe, lore, map, quest, tutorial and bestiary popups. None of these go through console.print, so they were entirely silent before. speech.immediate now logs to the console like queued speech does. It bypasses the frame queue and so also bypassed the flush-time logger, which meant damage alerts fired correctly but were invisible in the testbed transcript. Prefixes are now: ! interrupt, * immediate, space queued. 26/26 testbed checks, history unit tests passing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |
